Photo-responsive liquid crystal network-based material with adaptive modulus for haptic application.

Scientific reports
Artificially created tactile feedback is in high demand due to fast developments in robotics, remote control in medicine, virtual reality, and smart electronics. Despite significant progress, high-quality haptic feedback devices remain challenging ma...

Design and Experimental Research of Robot Finger Sliding Tactile Sensor Based on FBG.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Aiming at the problem of flexible sliding tactile sensing for the actual grasp of intelligent robot fingers, a double-layer sliding tactile sensor based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) for robot fingers is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the optimal em...

Active tactile sensing of small insect force by a soft microfinger toward microfinger-insect interactions.

Scientific reports
Human-robot interaction technology has contributed to improving sociality for humanoid robots. At scales far from human scales, a microrobot can interact with an environment in a small world. Microsensors have been applied to measurement of forces by...

Neuromorphic Tactile Edge Orientation Classification in an Unsupervised Spiking Neural Network.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Dexterous manipulation in robotic hands relies on an accurate sense of artificial touch. Here we investigate neuromorphic tactile sensation with an event-based optical tactile sensor combined with spiking neural networks for edge orientation detectio...

PhotoElasticFinger: Robot Tactile Fingertip Based on Photoelastic Effect.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The sense of touch is fundamental for a one-to-one mapping between the environment and a robot that physically interacts with the environment. Herein, we describe a tactile fingertip design that can robustly detect interaction forces given data colle...

Augmented tactile-perception and haptic-feedback rings as human-machine interfaces aiming for immersive interactions.

Nature communications
Advancements of virtual reality technology pave the way for developing wearable devices to enable somatosensory sensation, which can bring more comprehensive perception and feedback in the metaverse-based virtual society. Here, we propose augmented t...

Cross-Modal Reconstruction for Tactile Signal in Human-Robot Interaction.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
A human can infer the magnitude of interaction force solely based on visual information because of prior knowledge in human-robot interaction (HRI). A method of reconstructing tactile information through cross-modal signal processing is proposed in t...

: An Intelligent Device to 'converse' with Smart Environments.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Ambient Intelligence is a vision of daily life in which intelligent devices interact with humans to make their lives easier, and the technology is invisible. Artificial Intelligence (AI) governs this smart environment and must interact with humans to...

An Open-Environment Tactile Sensing System: Toward Simple and Efficient Material Identification.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Robotic perception can have simple and effective sensing functions that are unreachable for humans using only the isolated tactile perception method, with the assistance of a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG). However, the reliability of triboelectr...

Large-Area and Low-Cost Force/Tactile Capacitive Sensor for Soft Robotic Applications.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This paper presents a novel design and development of a low-cost and multi-touch sensor based on capacitive variations. This new sensor is very flexible and easy to fabricate, making it an appropriate choice for soft robot applications. Materials (co...
